Project Overview
We're looking for a volunteer to help us save time and be more strategic with our social media presence. Specifically, you'll create a template for a one-month social posting calendar that we can leverage to make managing our multiple social media channels easy. You'll draft copy for fifteen to twenty posts and make recommendations to customize our content to optimize it for different platforms. We will seek your input on using tools to automate our social media postings. The final deliverable will be the calendar template you create filled with fifteen to twenty different posts.
You're a great fit for us if you're passionate about our mission, you have a background in managing professional social media accounts, and you can spend ten hours over one to three weeks on this project.
Single parents in our program currently are facing an uphill battle as inflation and rising costs threaten their ability to stay in school and support their families. With our resources already stretched to capacity, we're struggling to meet the growing needs of these determined parents. Many are already juggling coursework, jobs, and parenting, but now, with the cost of living skyrocketing, their dreams of a college degree—and a better future for their children—are in jeopardy.
We must raise $45,000 by the end of September (and beyond) to stay on track to continue to support each family in the program with critical support like housing, transportation, textbooks, and childcare. Costing about $3,000 per family per year, these are essential expenses that are vital for our scholars to graduate and break the cycle of poverty.
We must get the word out more effectively on social media and email.
To prepare for the project, we will provide you with our events calendar and other relevant social media handles of organizations that are pillars in our sector. You'll have access to a file of photos and logos and a list of our hashtags.
